Located in the rolling hills of New Hamburg in South Western Ontario, Stonecroft offers quality homes in a resort-like setting where like-minded people can enjoy an active lifestyle.

The area combines rural tranquillity with urban convenience. Part of Waterloo Region, New Hamburg is only a short drive from the major metropolitan centres of Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge.

Homes range in price from $316,000 for a 1,163 square foot bungalow to $420,000 for a 1,994 square foot bungalow. Properties are freehold ownership, which means that each purchaser owns the land and the home.

The focal point of Stonecroft is the brand new recreation centre, which boasts one of the largest indoor pools of any adult lifestyle community in Canada. It also houses a fitness room equipped with a 16 piece hydraulic circuit and cardio equipment as well as his and hers saunas. Residents can also enjoy the cards and billiards room, crafts room, or participate in dance classes, badminton, aerobics or indoor shuffleboard in the multi-purpose room.

In the nicer weather the fun moves outdoors to the tennis courts, patio area with BBQ, or the extensive network of walking and biking trails.


"This is not a retirement community," says Stonecroft Sales Associate Dan Lambkin. "The people looking to buy here are in their 50s and for them it's all about being active. At Stonecroft we offer endless activities and an exceptional quality home...it's a complete package."


Another part of the package is golf. With 18 golf courses within 30 minutes of the community, Stonecroft is a golfer's paradise. There is even an indoor golf facility in the area, allowing residents to perfect their stroke all year long.

For those seeking culture and art, a visit to the Shakespearean Festival in Stratford or an evening of music with the KW Symphony is only a short drive away.  Enjoy a performance at Centre in the Square or the performing arts theatres at the universities and stroll through the National Clay and Glass Museum, the Art Gallery and the Waterloo Regional Children's Museum.


New Hamburg, and the surrounding area, is home to great food, great shopping and great services. The major hospitals in Kitchener, Cambridge and near-by Stratford are constantly modernizing their facilities and offer a complete range of care including the newly opened Regional Cancer Centre and Cardiac Care Centre.


Phase 4 of Stonecroft is currently underway, with the best lots in the community now being developed.  For more information visit www.stonecrofthomes.com or call 1-866-278-7577.
